With Taylor SwiftThe 35th birthday is just around the corner, Travis Kelces father has been thinking about the perfect gift.

“Trying to buy Taylor a gift is like trying to buy (my sons) Jason or Travis a gift.” Ed Kelce said during an appearance Thursday, Dec. 12, on 92.3 The Fan’s Baskin and Phelps Cleveland radio show. “There’s nothing they want that they don’t already have. There is nothing that they think they can get without already figuring out exactly what model they would have. You can’t go that route.”

Ed and ex-wife Donna Kelce They share sons Jason (37) and Travis (35), both of whom are NFL stars. Jason played 14 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring earlier this year. Travis, meanwhile, is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been with 34-year-old Swift since summer 2023. She turns 35 on Friday, December 13th.

“You have to dig deep and come up with something special,” Ed explained Thursday. “The amount of money is meaningless. You’re not going to impress Taylor Swift with a gift that costs $100,000, but if you get something that touches her heart, spend $10 on it and she’ll be pretty sticky.”

Travis Kelce’s dad Ed Kelce gushes about Taylor Swift and the moment he knew she was “special.”

He continued: “You have to find something that triggers the emotions.”

Ed first met Swift before one of Travis’ Chiefs games in September 2023, where he was overwhelmed by her down-to-earth demeanor.

“Taylor goes (to Travis’ house) with a security guard, and I look at her and say (to my girlfriend), ‘Oh my God, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is.’ God, you know, like a real idiot,” Ed recalled during a January appearance on the Cleveland-based radio show. “And (my friend) says, ‘You don’t know her? That’s Taylor Swift, you idiot.’”

Ed and Swift have since become friends at many of Travis’ games, including the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl earlier this year.

“Every game, people crowd outside the suite trying to get a glimpse of Taylor and get to know Taylor,” Ed later told the Los Angeles Times in January. “Taylor is very kind, but she can’t do everything. And she has security people who don’t want her to do anything. That’s her job and she’s smart enough to know, ‘I’m paying these people to keep me safe.’ I should probably listen to them.'”

He added: “But if she had her way, she would be out there with anyone who wanted her.”

Swift has also developed relationships with Donna, Jason and his family, including the pregnant wife Kylie Kelce and her three daughters. Swift even hosted the entire Kelce family at her family’s Thanksgiving celebration in November.
